- **fixed** — Pin @inquirer/type to exact version in published manifests to prevent downstream TypeScript build failures from semver range changes

##### @inquirer/prompts@8.7.1

###### What's new

- All bundled prompts now pin `@inquirer/type` to an exact version in their published manifests. Since these type definitions leak into consumers' `tsc` runs, a semver range on the types-only dependency could break downstream TypeScript builds without any change to Inquirer.js itself ([#2247](https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js/pull/2247), fixes [#2244](https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js/issues/2244)).
